Tonight on The Cocktail Hour (6pm-7pm), we'll be sipping the delightful Sherry Cocktail. A variation on the brandy sour, the Sherry Cocktail is a refreshing and pretty drink

Ice
1 ounce palo cortado or amontillado sherry
1 ounce brandy, preferably Spanish
1/2 ounce grenadine, preferably homemade
1/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/4 ounce Cherry Heering or other cherry liqueur
1 orange twist, flamed
1 brandied cherry

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the sherry, brandy, grenadine, lemon juice and Cherry Heering and shake well. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish the drink with the flamed twist and the cherry.
